Winners of the 2010 Governor General's Literary Awards Announced

The winners of the prestigious Governor General's Literary Awards were announced this morning at La Grande Bibliothèque in Montreal. Each winner will receive $25,000 and the publishers of each winning book will receive $3,000 for book promotion.

It's almost time — the 2013 CBC Canada Reads debates start just one week from today! Today we continue our Canada Reads interview series, speaking with Lisa Moore, the author of February (House of Anansi). February, a novel which inspired the Globe & Mail to declare "[Moore] gets it. She gets life", is representing the Atlantic region in Canada Reads.

Lisa tells us about the rich literary history of the east coast, the real life tragedy that inspired February and the way she plans to celebrate if she wins (which will make her fans very happy).
